Gold is bright yellow shining metal. There are many shining metals in the world. But they are not actually gold. The meaning of this proverb is that appearances are often deceptive or illusive. And things are not as what they look. It is difficult to judge things merely by its outward appearance.
This proverb aware us to be cautious in dealing with men or things. A man who is finely dressed and looks like a perfect gentleman can be a cheat. A man who is ugly in appearance may possess good quality. People who speak politely and pretend to be good mannered can deceive finally. We make friends with persons who seem to be sincere one, but they turn out to be false friends and ruin us. The real quality of person is hidden inside. We should always keep in mind that things are not always what they seem.
